"In my view," Collins goes on to say, "DNA sequence alone, even if accompanied by a vast trove of data on biological function, will never explain certain special human attributes, such as the knowledge of the Moral Law and the universal search for God."

i dont necessarily agree with the Moral Law thing. thats kind of weird. but, i do agree with his second assertion. except i dont know why he capitalized it. god, g-d, or __ would have sufficed. like God is a better representation than god.
